- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the squash: Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
- Season: Drizzle olive oil over the flesh of the squash halves, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc.).
- Roast: Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Shred the "noodles": Once the squash has cooled slightly, use a fork to scrape the flesh. You'll be amazed at how the squash forms delicate, noodle-like strands!
- Serve: The spaghetti squash can be served on its own or topped with your favorite sauce, sautéed vegetables, or even a protein of your choice. For an extra touch, sprinkle with parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.
